@JamesOsben@NurseStandard And that's the crux of it. We've allowed sub standard pay awards compression of the pay bands through member apathy in relation to voting. Trade unions are the voice of their members. If you want to know what your union is doing for you look in the mirror. It's that simple
@theRCN@RCNScot@RhianW apparently one of the terms for corridor care is "non-standard bed space". It's so engrained that it now has a nameππ#rcn2024
@theRCN@PatienceBAMISA1 Congratulations to you both. Welcome to the AC Patience. Get ready for some fun and serious debate drawing up the RCN 2025 Congress agenda.
Given that the roles of President and Deputy President of @theRCN are so important, and one that all members are eligible to vote on do you think @theRCN should hold a hustings?
We are coming into the closing days of the election of Chair andVice Chair of Congress. If you haven't already voted please give me your vote. I will be the link between members and the Chair of Congress to ensure your voice is heard in putting together the Congress Agenda.
Here's why I think I am the right person for the role of Vice Chair of Congress. Please contact your branch/forum/Committee and ask them to vote for me.
@CalvinMoorley @theRCN It is allowed as long as the candidate uses their own social media account and does not post on or to an official RCN page or account. If you are already following or have chosen to follow an individual in response to seeing the list of candidates you will see their campaign.
@theRCN I love to see our retired, sometimes long retired members at Congress. Yes, they did some things very differently from how we do things now but their love for nursing continues to motivate them. Their dedication to the profession is unwavering and that's awesome.
@BiscuitNurse@RCNScot Who says nurses can be political. We can. We will. We have to for our health and wellbeing and that of our patients and the nation. #RCN24
#RCN24 This year's RCN Congress will include a discussion in the main hall on how we effectively promote the nursing agenda around a general election https://t.co/M2yyKxbEXZ and a fringe session on lobbying and campaigning for nursing https://t.co/St5U0Twrdq. See you there? πͺ§
@ShirtyPhil Phil I hope you have a long and happy retirement, but selfishly, I hope you stick around the RCN. You have been great on the AC and I was so proud to see you finish on a high, albeit reluctantly. You did a great job. I feel privileged to call you my friend.
